LEMMY SPEAKS: MOTÖRHEAD WILL BE "LIKE THE BEATLES AFTER 1966"10th October 2013

Rock n' Roll tried to kill him. It failed...

In a new interview with Classic Rock magazine, Lemmy has downplayed his recent health scares which caused European concert cancellations, Motörhead's Wacken set being cut short and the fitting of a defibrilator in the legendary frontman's chest to regulate and correct heart problems.

"It was nothing; I'm over it," Lemmy says.

Motörhead new album, 'Aftershock', is released on October 22nd and the band then embark on a European trek beginning November 7th in Zurich and wrapping up December 10th in Helsinki. Saxon are supporting on the UK dates.

Drummer Mikkey Dee told Classic Rock: "I think after all he's been through, I'd say this: "Lem, when are you going to get sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? It's time you started to take care of yourself."

And if it comes to the point he can no longer hit the road, Lemmy vows: "We plan to go on. Maybe we'll just make albums – we'll be like The Beatles after 1966."

But Lemmy leaves no doubt he'll be back on stage soon: "I can still stand at that mic every night and play my songs," he declares. "I'm getting better. By the time the tour comes around I'll be ready."
